What is the Adonit Pixel?

The Adonit Pixel is a pressure sensitive stylus for iOS devices that incorporates our latest design improvements to offer superior performance and functionality with improved accuracy and comfort. Notes, annotation, digital art - the Adonit Pixel does it all!

What devices will Pixel work with?

- Pixel will work just like your finger on any capacitive touch screen device. Features like pressure sensitivity, palm-rejection, Pixelpoint technology, and use of shortcut buttons require an iOS device with Bluetooth 4.0.

What makes the Pixel different?

Pixel is the most advanced stylus we’ve made to date, with Bluetooth features enabling 2048-level pressure sensitivity, enhanced precision and performance, context-sensitive shortcut buttons, and even a grip sensor that turns on the stylus when you pick it up! The Pixel also features a slim, ergonomic body (10.5 mm in diameter) and a new tip design for a smoother and more natural writing experience.

What is Pixelpoint technology?

Pixelpoint™ is Adonit’s fine point stylus tip technology. It supports a 1.9 mm Fine Point tip with reliably accurate on-screen results. A Bluetooth connection helps your favorite Adonit Connected Apps more precisely detect where the tip of the stylus touches the screen, and delivers additional features.

Can I use Pixel with the Apple Pencil?

Unfortunately, the Apple Pencil can cause interference if it’s connected while you’re using the Pixel. To avoid this, you’ll want to disconnect your Apple Pencil in the iPad’s Bluetooth settings before pairing the Pixel.

Can I use Pixel with a Screen Protector?

Generally screen protectors are not recommended for use with Adonit styluses, as they can interfere with the touch screen’s ability to consistently detect the stylus tip. Adonit styluses are optimized for use without a screen protector. The special materials used in the tip is designed to be softer than an iPad’s hardened glass screen to avoid damaging your iPad’s screen without a screen protector.

How do I turn on and pair Pixel?

Turn your Adonit Pixel stylus ON by holding down the black button closest to the tip until a green light shows increasing in brightness and then goes off; your Pixel is now turned on and ready to pair.

We’ve simplified the process of pairing your Pixel to your favorite apps, to allow easy access to pressure sensitivity and other Bluetooth features. While it can vary from app to app, you will typically need to enable stylus support in the settings section of the app you are using. You should then be able to follow on-screen instructions provided by the app. For more information and instructions, view the apps listed on our Pixel page.

Some iPads and iPhones cannot connect with more than 4 Bluetooth devices. If 4 devices are already paired, Pixel will not Bluetooth pair until another device is removed.
